The headline makes it sound sinister, but really it's just an opportunity for Israel to send a hospital and go "Look! we're helping people on the other side of the planet! Bad guys don't do that! Wait what's that Iranian cargo jet doing here?"

If I was a Haitian, I wouldn't care why I'm getting helped, as long as I am.

I really can see what the editor meant though, the earthquake helped show Israel in a positive light, which is a rare occurrence. The headline of this thread does make all this look so much more sinister though.

That's the hope of every person who tried to exploit the misery of others for themselves.

it's funny because there have been a lot of jews calling up progressive radio stations discussing the disaster in haiti and just yelling at the host that he hasn't specifically mentioned the israeli delegation.

I almost swerved into the next lane, listening to these people calling up and yelling out of the blue that the host isn't mentioning israel during a segment on haiti.

For reference these incidents were on npr and pacifica

Funny that, my calls to complain about the lack of press coverage of Cuban doctors and field hospitals (that were around before the quake) all get ignored...

At a time when our country is under media attack on the basis of harsh and anti-Semitic reports

This makes me sick, just because we say bad things about Jews it does not mean we are saying it because they are Jews. It's like they can do anything they want and when they get criticised they pass it off as anti-Semitism. What a disgrace of a journalist?

Actually that's mistranslated. The correct translation is:

At a time when our country is under media attack on the basis of harsh critical reports and Antisemitism

It's subtle, but it makes all the difference. He's not saying that the harsh critical reports are anti-Semitic. He's saying that Israel is under media attack on the basis of the reports, on the one hand, and on the basis of anti-semitism, on the other hand. He's not saying that all of the criticism is anti-semitic. He is, however, saying that some of it is.

You may or may not agree with that, but it most definitely isn't as "sickening" as it was translated by Shmuel Sermoneta-Gertel.

There is nothing wrong about this article. The disaster in Haiti happened. There is nothing that can be done about it. No damage is done in this analysis.

Heh, 'cept reveal how douchebaggey some Jews are. How twisted is their thinking. If this analysis seems perfectly ok to you, there's something wrong with your thinking too.

I couldn't make it past the first paragraph. It was disgusting.

Israelis send aid teams to rescue haitian civilians, sounds douchey to me. Who has the twisted thinking again?

Israelis send aid teams to Haiti... and are glad they did so, because now look! People are paying a little less attention to Gaza!

I just wish Jews would be willing to discuss the evils of their government. I am American and my government does even worse things, has done even worse things for the better part of a century. But I am willing to talk about it, compelled to talk about it, in the hopes we might change our ways.
